Cover Reveal: The Last Pages

My first love is YA historical fantasy, so I'm super excited to share the cover for The Last Pages with you all! There's so many elements I love about this cover: The script in the background, the buildings, the looming mountain, and then that blaze of fiery red. Not to mention that the girl's holding a SWORD! Congrats to Lara on a fantastic cover for what sounds like a fantastic book!

Blurb:

Kale led a simple life with her mother in a small 18th century town. She never met her father and knew little about her past. That changed when a runaway named Leon forced her into joining him. Soldiers want Leon for treason. They want Kale now, too. She thinks it's because she is with Leon, but he knows better. A mysterious, shadowed figure has joined the chase, but his intentions are not the same as the soldier's.

In the quest to prove that he is innocent, Leon and Kale journey across untamed lands, discover secrets, meet long lost siblings, and find out the truth about their pasts; truth that should not have seen the light. It is truth, which may cost Leon and Kale their lives and send the nearby kingdoms into war. Can they save their lives, stop war from ravaging the land, and undo their mistakes? Or will they die trying?

About: Lara Whatley is a teen that loves to use her creativity in as many ways as she can. She is an avid reader, and in addition to writing, Lara enjoys sketching, painting, and playing her harp and guitar. Any writing contest she has entered has earned her an award, and she has published several short stories for children co-written with Monica Whatley. She lives with her family in Newmarket, Ontario. Her favourite part of being an author is making new friends, real or otherwise.

Thanks! It was a lot of work, but I promised myself I'd finish it before I turned sixteen. (Partially because there were a bunch of people who said I couldn't do it and I wanted to prove them wrong :P ) And yay! I did it :) So yes, to all you out there... it is possible.
